Hello everyone – Laura here.
I just wanted to let you know that the shopping lists for Cub Foods, Rainbow Foods/Copps/Pick N Save, and Target may be late this week as Carrie’s 17-month-old daughter Olivia is currently in the hospital with croup (at least they think that’s what it might be). Carrie and Marco took Olivia to the emergency room earlier today and found out that she (Olivia) will probably have to stay overnight. Obviously Carrie will be staying overnight in the hospital with Olivia, too.
So, in case you were wondering why the other shopping lists aren’t up yet…that’s why. We hope you understand and are OK with the (hopefully slight) delay. Thanks so much for your continued support and for being an excellent community of readers!

Prayers for Olivia and the Rocha family!
Poor Olivia, I hope she feels better soon!
Carrie, I am praying that Olivia will make a full recovery and that you and your husband will get rest through all of this.
Our prayers for Olivia and the entire Rocha family.
I am so sorry to hear that–it’s sooo scary to have that happen. My thoughts and prayers are with them all for a speedy recovery.
I hope she will be ok & out of the hospital soon!
Of course we understand…family comes first!
: ( not good! My prayers are with you! May God bring healing to Olivia quickly!
kids and family always come first! Hope Olivia gets well soon!
Praying for Olivia!
Awe! Poor girl! We will survive with late shopping lists, just get that baby better! :)
Praying for a speedy recovery for Olivia.
Praying for you all. Get better soon Olivia!!
Praying for all of you. God bless you with a speedy recovery, Olivia.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear that!! As everyone has said before me, family comes first! I pray that Olivia recovers quickly and you have your little girl back in your arms soon.
If nothing else, this just shows all of us what a blessing you are in our lives – we understand and appreciate your commitment to your family.
Hang tough Rocha family. God will guide you through.
Hope she feels better soon!
Poor baby! Praying for your family, Carrie.
Thinking of you and sending prayers your way.

Our prayers are with Olivia and the rest of the family. Praying Olivia is healed quickly!
Oh my goodness! hoping for a speedy recovery for Olivia! Like everyone before me – family comes FIRST!
I am sending out my prayers to Carrie and her family.
Hopes for a speedy recovery!
Praying for healing for Olivia and peace for your family.
Hoping she is feeling better already. Please keep us updated as her blogging “family” is sending her hugs, love and wishes for a very speedy recovery!
Prayers for Carrie and her family!
Sending up prayers for you and your little one, Carrie. There is nothing scarier than a hospital visit. Hang in there, and hopefully she’ll be feeling great soon!
Oh dear, so sorry to hear this Rocha family. Croup is the pits, but I hope just knowing that now someone else is helping care for her is a relief to you and to Olivia. Take care, you are in my prayers.
Positive energy going your way! Take care of yourselves!
It is so scary to have your baby in the hospital and it turns your world upside down. I hope she gets better soon. Healing mojo over to you!
Praying for Olivia to feel better soon. Take care of your little girl and don’t worry one whit about us. We will be fine with no lists at all this week if need be.
Just want you to know that I appreciate all that you do, and I do so wish the best for you and yours. Take care.
Hope Olivia is better and can come home soon. Please keep us updated on how she is Carrie. You do so much for all of us, now it is our turn to do something for you. I will pray for Olivia and your family.
Prayers for Olivia and family are being offered up!! May God shower His mercy and healing graces upon all of you.
I hope healing comes soon. I did email Carrie a PIck’n Save listing from the Milwaukee area last night from the contact page, if it will help. Minnesota deals do differ some from Milwaukee/Wisconsin. Minnesota is a bit better, usually.
Praying that little Olivia improves quickly and that Carrie also takes some much deserved time to recover. Family is a blessing from above.
Prayers for your little one and family :)
Family is so important!! Carrie, please take all of the time that you need to be with yours!! Thoughts and prayer for a speedy recovery for Olivia.
We are home now, Olivia is napping, we’ve picked up her prescription and I am sitting down at my desk to work on getting caught up. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. Give your kids an extra big squeeze today for me, as I am keenly aware of how absolutely precious they are. The worst of this bout is over and she is on the mend. Now we all need to get caught up on sleep – I got 4 hours on Saturday night after a long day of editing my video for the Oprah submission and not much more yesterday, although I caught a morning nap at the hospital. Getting some work done now will be therapeutic for me :)
Prayers for Olivia – Get well soon!
Hope she gets well quick. That is no fun.
Thoughts and prayers for Olivia & your whole family!
I am glad to hear that she is home now. Wishing her a speedy recovery!!!
Glad to hear Olivia is doing better and prayers are being answered! Thanks for all you do for your family and for us!
*hugs* to you and prayers for Olivia! Glad she’s on the mend! I know how scary it can be when that happens!!
